Chapter 1497 RhythmChapter 1497 Rhythm
Camille spent the whole day at Armstrong Corp.
At noon, she had lunch with Horace's secretary. During the meal, the secretary told Camille, "Mr.
Burris and Miss Armstrong won't arrive until tonight. Mr. Burris mentioned he might accompany Miss
Armstrong abroad for a few days, so the company's affairs might trouble you."
Camille raised her gaze to Horace's secretary, furrowing her brow slightly. "Didn't he say it was just
a two or three-day journey? Now they'll stay longer? So, it will be at least a week?"
The secretary replied softly, "At least."
Camille really didn't feel like talking anymore. Horace sure is making decisions without consulting
first, isn't he?
Camille pursed her lips and said in a light voice, "Mr. Burris should have a salary, right?"
Even though he is the general manager, he would still receive a salary, even if it's merely symbolic.
After all, Ayan also has a salary, and his salary card is in her hands.
The secretary didn't quite understand Camille's inquiry, but promptly nodded and said, "Yes."
"Then please inform the finance department to withdraw Mr. Burris's salary for this month and give it
directly to me!" Camille finished, picked up a spoon and drank her soup. The secretary was taken
aback but quickly replied, "Alright, I'll inform them later."
Having instructed the secretary, Horace made it clear that in his absence, Camille would be in
charge of everything.However, with Horace earning just a few thousand dollars a month, does Camille really need it?
After a hearty meal, Camille returned to her office.
Horace's secretary brought some documents and explained, "These are the files I've reviewed with
no issues for you to sign, and then, I'll take them to others."
These documents need to be completed within the day. With Horace absent, it was natural for
Camille to take over.
Camille took the documents without hurriedly signing them. Instead, she asked, "Are these
documents already in progress?"
"Yes," confirmed the secretary.
"Okay." Camille didn't look at the contents. Since he was Horace's secretary, he was someone
Horace trusted, so she didn't need to worry excessively.
After signing, the secretary took the documents and left.
The most tiring task for Camille today was signing, and she had been alone the whole time. It was
truly boring, and she felt a sense of restlessness radiating from her entire being.
But these days would continue for a while, so Camille was now completely in a spirit of sacrifice.
Camille taking over Horace's position at Armstrong Corp naturally didn't go unnoticed among the
staff, and some discreetly took photos and posted them on social media, expressing their doubts
quietly. Even though social media seemed small, it was vast in reality, and it had all kinds of people.
Especially those with ulterior motives.So, soon, Camille's appearance at Armstrong Corp was exposed online, not with the intention of
Armstrong Corp competing against Horace for the position of general manager, but why Camille
had appeared at Armstrong Corp at that moment.
Then, someone released Grace's flight itinerary after leaving Hance City, which wasn't difficult to
find with a little attention to Grace's whereabouts.
However, the direct online disclosure was evidently illegal.
After all, it was a person's privacy, and such public exposure was unfair.
But currently, no one cared about legality because the post's focus had already steered away from
its original topic.
They were curious: did Camille come to Armstrong Corp with intentions to push Grace out and lay
claim to Armstrong Corp?
With Ayan, the Simpson family, and Simpson Group behind Camille, was there any connection
unavoidable with the Simpson family?
Although Armstrong Corp didn't compare to a corner of Simpson Group, in the business world,
everyone aimed for more. Even if it was an insignificant small company, who wouldn't want it as
their own domain?
The speculations and comments grew more and more, and everyone's imaginations expanded.
This news spread quickly as we are in the age of the internet, where even the slightest of
movements would instantly circulate.
Ayan was the first to receive the news, and he immediately contacted Camille. However, at that
moment, Camille was on the phone with Sienna, unable to take his call.Seeing this, Ayan also lost focus on work. He got up from his seat, looking impassively at Kian and
said, "I'm going over to Armstrong Corp right now and contacting public relations to handle this
matter."
Ayan swiftly walked out without even taking his coat, and Kian, seeing this, quickly grabbed his coat
and followed suit.
Kian suggested, "Mr. Simpson, the news has already spread everywhere, should we report it to the
police and let them handle it?"
"You handle that," Ayan said lightly. "I'm going to Armstrong Corp right now. Contact Horace's
secretary and tell them no one is allowed to see her before I arrive."
Kian nodded quickly in agreement.
He immediately called Horace's secretary. Armstrong Corp had just learned about this incident, and
the secretary was handling internal communications as Camille had been in her office all the time,
making him unsure if she was aware.
The news had already spread among the company's employees, and whispers and discussions
were rampant. Some, audaciously taking advantage of the group chat's ability to change names and
avatars, started creating turmoil, directly shifting the blame onto Camille and Ayan.
noveldrama"I have a relative who worked at the Armstrong family for several years. They've heard Camille often
quarreling with her parents. Every argument was due to unfair family stock distributions. Camille
was somehow involved in Armstrong Corp's near bankruptcy because she insisted on revealing
certain truths."
"Camille is only doing this because of Ayan. With Ayan's favor, she can basically get whatever she
wants. Ayan has also put in a lot of effort against the Armstrong family and Armstrong Corp, or elseCamille wouldn't have the capabilities."
These comments from the self-proclaimed informant with a relative working for the Armstrong family
for several years naturally raised suspicion on Camille, and they also connected the Page incident
with Camille.
Since it also involved the Simpson family, some people started wondering if the Simpson family was
behind all this.
The speculation and comments grew more, and people's imaginations soared.
This kind of news spread quickly, and now was the age of the internet. If even a small ripple
occurred, it would instantly spread everywhere.
Ayan was the first to receive the news and quickly contacted Camille. However, at that moment,
Camille was on the phone with Sienna and was unable to answer his call.
Seeing the situation, Ayan also lost interest in work. He immediately got up from his seat and looked
coldly at Kian, saying, "I'm going to Armstrong Corp right now and contacting the public relations
department to handle this matter."
Ayan walked out quickly, without even picking up his coat. Kian, seeing this, also hurried to grab his
coat and follow.
Kian suggested, "Mr. Simpson, the news has already spread everywhere. Shall we report it to the
police so they can handle this?"
"You take care of that," Ayan said lightly. "I'm headed to Armstrong Corp now. Contact Horace's
secretary and inform them no one is to see her until I arrive."
Kian quickly agreed with a nod.He immediately dialed Horace's secretary. At Armstrong Corp, they had just learned about the
situation, and the secretary was managing the company's internal group chat. As Camille had been
in her office the whole time, he didn't know if she was aware of the situation.
The group chat of the company's employees had already disseminated the information, and
everyone was buzzing with discussions. Some took it too far, using the group chat to spread rumors
and pointing fingers at Camille and Ayan.
"My relative worked for the Armstrong family for several years, and they've overheard Camille
frequently arguing with her parents. Every time it's about the unequal distribution of shares among
parents. It almost led to Armstrong Corp's bankruptcy, and Camille had a hand in it because she
wanted to uncover the truth."
"Camille is only doing this because of Ayan. He spoils her and fulfills her every request. Ayan has
made significant contributions against the Armstrong family and Armstrong Corp. Otherwise,
Camille wouldn't have had the ability."
The comments from the self-proclaimed informant with a relative working for the Armstrong family
for several years naturally cast suspicion on Camille and linked the Page incident to her.
As it also involved the Simpson family, some began to wonder if the Simpson family was behind it
all.
